You have available to you of two pump styles: pump A at 1000 gal/min produces a 100 dBA SPL at a given distance, and pump B at 500 gal/min produces a 90 dBA at the same position. For a noise control point of view, which combination of pumps would be most acceptable for developing a flow rate of 2000 gal/min? Explain.

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.

Which from the following instrument is commonly used to detect the high pitch butzing sound in bearings? [clo4] a)-digital ultrasonic meter b)-infrared camera c)-spectroscopic d)-vibrometer

Water vapor initially at 10 bar and 400 °c is contained within a piston-cylinder assembly. the water lost heat to the surrounding according to isochoric (iso-volumetric) process until its temperature is 150 °c. the water is then condensed isothermally to saturated liquid. for the water as a system, calculate the work in kj/kg
